Some folks wait til after Thanksgiving so all the leaves are down. Don’t have to do it twice.
Here ours aren't completely off till around the 2nd week of December. I try to stay ahead of it because I hate raking/blowing leaves. I'd much rather mow them

My friends had their son's room smashed by a huge oak that came down in a hurricanne a few years back. If they had not evacuated their kid probably would have been killed. Made me rethink my stance of not evacuating when I'm not at risk of flooding.

A man we used to duck hunt with evacuated from Abbeville to his daughter's house in Baton Rouge for a hurricane. A tree fell on her house and killed him.

She laid there for a while pinned to the ground with the limb on her, 70 years old.
A safe word was available but not used.

The only storm I ever evacuated for was Ida, 4 seasons ago. That was fortunate, a 100' pine, perfectly healthy, not leaning, that was in our front yard, decided it wanted to be in our backyard. It crushed the master bath wing to the ground, destroyed the pavilion, the pool deck and the pool had to be redone. Over $200K damage, if we had stayed and been in the master bath, we'd be dead.
I have a great tree guy, he comes in the spring to check all the trees for hurricane season, he said large pines make him nervous, but I decided since the tree was so healthy, to leave it. My new motto: "If there's a doubt, take it out".
